ESL/ENL License

Highlights

This is a second license, requiring an initial teaching license. It combines four on-line courses offered by IU Bloomington and four on-site courses offered by IU Southeast. Courses are offered in most semesters. The licensing office is IU Bloomington; IU Southeast´s licensing advisors will initiate the licensing procedures and will provide assistance to candidates as well as inter-institutional coordination. Course substitutions are approved by the IU Bloomington licensing office; advising takes place at IU Southeast.

IU Southeast´s courses addressing ESL/ENL teaching and learning (E514 & E518 prior to the prospective number change) may be petitioned as substitutions. Some course work may be applicable to the master´s degree at IU Southeast; candidates interested in pursuing the master´s should verify this with the IU Southeast licensing advisors and program coordinator.

H520 and M300 are interchangeable. So are L541 and F500. F500 takes place abroad and carries 2 credits; an additional credit is required to complete the clinical experience, which must take place in a local setting.

Presently, tuition for on-line courses is considered "in-state" for all participants. Per Reciprocity Agreement between Indiana and Kentucky, candidates from Kentucky counties of Bullitt, Jefferson, Oldham, and Trimble are eligible for "in-state" tuition rates for IU Southeast.
